Na Obasanjo distant cousin for Igboland be dat.Obasanjo is Igbo from father’s side.

Some major generals might be retired. While some Brigadier General will be quickly promoted to Major General....lot of changes among the commissioned officers will take place because of quota system in our constitution.

Anyway who knows what the commander in General is planning, we have a war in the north east and in the south east, so i expect the next chief of army staff to be given to the next in seniority.

Anyway, After our igbo brothers will say they are marginalized.

What is Major General Benjamin Ahanotu from Anambra State doing there

The Ag IGP is from Yobe....so Yusuf looks out.

Una don spoil market for Alli-Keffi...He can't be.

Aliyu is my pick....If I were right...Ahanotu will retire.

Give it to my general ,the main odogwu Benjamin Ahanotu

EjaikreTheViper:

YOU ARE AN IGNORAMUS

You and your father have the same habit. May the gods help you guys.

Buhari is too nepotistic to appoint an Igbo man. That's all I know

Remove Benjamin's name from.there please because Buhari can never give a Christian COAS

There is nothing like chief joint services.

The chief of defense staff is the highest and it is a Christian in power, he is the highest ranking officer in the Nigeria military.

The chief of army staff is the head of the army, he reports to him also the minister of defense.

Anything a BMC says is a lie,
A GOC is more powerful than the CDS, it's a ceremonial position.

GOC can be any top officer commanding a division, how can that person be more powerful than the cds

CDS isnt a ceremonial position.

The chief of the various forces reports to him. CDS formulate and excute polices for the Nigerian armed forces.

Can't you see the cds organising seminars for top military officers even the cds is organising strategies to defeat the various terrorist groupslike ipob, boko haram, iswap and various militants in our country.

so, no middle belt, nonmoslim generals?

The CDS is almost a weak office but most importantly


It all depends on the occupant of the office cus I remembered during Air chief marshal Alex badeh's tenure .....he was so powerful

But The last CDS olonishakin was too weak and has no grip over the service chiefs

The guy is correct please. Both mean same thing.
